Chapter 1146: Killing Across Galaxy

But as soon as this thought came up, he rejected it instantly.

If escape was useful, Chi Jue would have escaped successfully just now. Even with Chi Jue's speed, he couldn't escape, so how could he possibly escape?

Instead of struggling in vain, it is better to... beg for mercy!

This thought emerged in his mind like a life-saving straw. Kuang Xiao had almost no hesitation. His legs immediately softened and he knelt down in the direction of Ye Chen.

His voice trembled with tears, "Senior! Please spare my life! I was entrusted by someone and did not really want to be your enemy. I am innocent!"

He shouted and tried his best to explain, fearing that Ye Chen would attack before he could finish.

He deliberately emphasized that he had "accepted the commission" and wanted Ye Chen to know that he was just an executor and that the real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else.

If Ye Chen wanted to seek revenge, he should go to his employer, not him, the one who "does the dirty work"!

Hearing his plea for mercy, Ye Chen indeed stopped. He raised his eyebrows slightly, a glint of interest flashed in his eyes, and he asked calmly, "Oh? Entrusted by someone? Then who invited you here?"

"It's the Shangguan family!"

Without hesitation, Kuang Xiao revealed his employer's information almost immediately, his voice sharp with urgency: "They paid us handsomely and wanted to use us to get rid of you, Senior!"

In the face of life and death, the so-called "killer principle" has long been thrown out of his mind.

Not to mention exposing his employer, as long as he can save his life, he will not hesitate even if he is asked to turn around and kill the people of the Shangguan family!

When Ye Chen heard this answer, there was no surprise on his face.

He had expected that the Shangguan family would take action against him.

After all, the previous conflict had already laid the hidden dangers.

He had originally intended to give the Shangguan family a glimmer of hope. As long as they stopped provoking him, he would not bother to go to their house in person to settle the matter.

But now, they actually dared to hire a killer to take his life, so this "mercy" naturally had no need to continue to exist!

"how about you?"

Ye Chen's gaze fell on Kuang Xiao, his tone still calm, "What force are you from?"

Kuang Xiao's body stiffened for a moment, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

The name of the Beast God Temple carries some weight, and he was worried that revealing its power would anger the temple master.

If the Palace Master knew that I had revealed the fact that I was from the Beast God Temple in order to save my life, would he be angry?

But facing Ye Chen's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he finally chose to confess honestly, his voice a little timid: "Junior... Junior is from the Beast God Temple. We in the Beast God Temple often undertake such assassination and ambush commissions. This time we are also acting according to the rules..."

"Beast Temple."

Ye Chen nodded slowly, remembering the name in his heart, and his tone was indistinguishable from joy or anger: "I understand."

Then, he slowly raised his right hand, and a light golden light emanated from his palm.

The light seemed gentle, but it carried a frighteningly dangerous aura, as if every ray of light contained a sharp power that could tear apart the heavens and the earth.

The surrounding space trembled slightly because of this breath, and fine ripples appeared.

The moment he sensed this dangerous aura, Kuang Xiao's face suddenly turned as pale as paper, and his eyes, which originally contained a hint of luck, were instantly filled with fear.

He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze at this moment.

It felt like there was an invisible sharp blade pressed against my neck, and every breath was accompanied by a stinging sensation of being cut.

I have already given up my dignity and begged for mercy, so why can't I escape death?

"Don't kill me! I'm still useful! If possible, I'd rather stay by your side, serving you at your beck and call, and no longer be controlled by the Beast God Temple!"

There was an obvious tremor in Kuang Xiao's voice as he almost roared. He stared at Ye Chen eagerly, constantly forcing out a flattering expression and hurriedly continued to express his loyalty.

His body leaned forward slightly, and his hands subconsciously stretched forward, as if trying to grab the last straw.

As long as I can survive, what does betraying the Beast Temple matter?

It's just a change of backer.

At most, he will be hunted down by the Palace Master!

But if I can follow Ye Chen, it doesn’t matter even if I am hunted by the Palace Master.

After all, Ye Chen's strength is unfathomable and is definitely not inferior to the Palace Master.

By that time, I can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, waiting to see both of them suffer losses, and maybe even profit from it. For me, it will be a good thing.

Besides, although I am not as good as the senior in front of me, I am at least a true Chaos Saint Emperor!

Looking at the entire universe, the Chaos Saint Emperor is also standing at the top of the pyramid. Which force does not want to add such a strong man?

Seeing the Chaos Saint Emperor submitting so sincerely to him, the other party should also be moved, right?

Kuang Xiao kept calculating in his mind, his eyes full of anticipation and anxiety.

Looking at Kuang Xiao who was trying hard to appear sincere, Ye Chen always had a faint smile on his face, with curved eyebrows and eyes, looking very friendly.

But it was this smile that made Kuang Xiao feel even more uneasy, like a rabbit running around in his arms.

He had no idea what Ye Chen was thinking. Was that smile an expression of agreement, or a deeper murderous intent?

It's really elusive.

Ye Chen listened quietly to Kuang Xiao's declaration of surrender without any response, neither nodding nor shaking his head, as if he was just listening to an insignificant matter.

His right hand, which was emitting a light golden glow, continued to fall slowly at a steady pace without any pause. As his arm moved, the golden glow became more dazzling, and the dangerous aura became more intense.

It was also at this moment that Kuang Xiao's heart sank completely. He was certain that this man had no intention of letting him go and was determined to kill him!

At the critical moment of life and death, Kuang Xiao had no time to think. The power in his body exploded instantly, and the air around him rolled violently because of this power.

The gray-white scales on his body, like gray stone pieces, suddenly broke away from his body, making a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound of breaking through the air.

Like countless sharp hidden weapons, with a biting cold light, they shot towards Ye Chen at the fastest speed. Each piece of scale contained the power of the Chaos Saint Emperor, enough to pierce through the stars.

At the same time, black blood suddenly spurted out of Crazy Owl's body. The blood gushed out from every wound on his body, splashing like an out-of-control fountain, forming a thick blood mist in the air.

He actually used the recoil force generated by the rush of blood to burst out at an unimaginable speed, and the space around his body was distorted and torn apart by this extreme speed.

“Crack—”

The space in front collapsed directly, forming a dark crack. The figure of the mad owl disappeared in the crack in an instant, leaving only flying scales and blood mist that had not yet dissipated.

In the blink of an eye, the Mad Owl appeared in the void beyond countless galaxies.

He hovered there, gasping for breath, his chest heaving violently. The backlash from his previous burst of speed made his throat taste fishy and sweet.

After no longer feeling Ye Chen's breath, Kuang Xiao felt a little relieved, and his tense body also relaxed a little.

It seems that my desperate escape method has worked.

Just now, while the other party was not paying attention, he broke out with an unprecedented speed at the cost of damaging his own foundation and consuming a lot of original power, thus barely escaping the disaster.

However, even though he had crossed more than a dozen galaxies, Kuang Xiao still didn't dare to let his guard down.

He knew very well that Ye Chen's strength was far beyond his imagination. If the other party really wanted to catch up with him, his distance might not be enough.

He didn't dare to let his guard down for even a moment until he reached an absolutely safe area.

But just as he took a deep breath and was about to mobilize the remaining strength in his body again, cross the galaxy, and continue to escape deeper into the universe.

A dazzling golden sword light suddenly cut through the void, like a meteor chasing the moon, crossing the distance of countless galaxies, and instantly killed him from behind!

This sword light was extremely terrifying. The sword energy around the sword body surged and crisscrossed. Wherever it passed, tiny cracks were cut into the void.

The fierce sword intent made Kuang Xiao's hair stand on end and he was terrified, as if he would be torn into pieces by the sword intent in the next second.

"what?!"

He felt a sharp pain in the back of his heart, and an extremely sharp sword intent locked onto him, as if a pair of invisible eyes were staring at him from behind.

The mad owl was horrified, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip, and the blood color on his face faded away in an instant.

He knew without even thinking that this must be a sword launched by Ye Chen!

But he never expected that even after escaping so far, across more than a dozen galaxies, he could still be caught up by a sword intent from the other party?

What level of strength is this?

Could it be that he has already reached the invincible realm of the peak Saint Emperor?

With disaster imminent, Kuang Xiao had no time to think any more. He screamed and the power in his body surged wildly again.

The black blood on his body suddenly spurted out again, and the blood kept wriggling and gathering in the air.

As if it had life, a thick, sticky blood ball condensed around his body, tightly wrapping him in the middle.

This is the strongest defense he can currently achieve.

He had only one thought in his mind, that as long as he could block the sword and survive, his chances of escaping and surviving would be greatly increased!

The ball of blood surrounding his body was extremely viscous and thick, shiny black, with bubbles constantly emerging from the surface and emitting a pungent smell of blood.

Kuang Xiao knew very well that no matter what kind of attack it was, once it entered this blood sphere, it would be entangled by the blood containing its own original power, and all its power would be lost bit by bit, and eventually become invisible.

“Shh—”

When the golden sword light pierced into the blood sphere, the black blood barrier immediately twisted violently, rolling like boiling asphalt.

Countless black blood threads wrapped around the golden sword light, trying to restrain and devour it, and dissolve most of the sword light's offensive power.

Kuang Xiao stared at the scene closely, his heart in his throat. He could clearly feel that the blood sphere was constantly consuming the power of the sword.

This method seems to have really worked!

The speed of this golden sword light did slow down a bit, and its forward momentum also became sluggish.

However, before Kuang Xiao could feel a hint of joy in his heart, the next moment, the even sharper and more domineering sword intent contained in the golden sword light completely burst out like a sleeping giant beast awakening!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the golden light of the sword increased greatly, and the dazzling golden light instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness.

The fierce aura tore through the void, ignoring the viscosity and thickness of the blood, and pierced in fiercely like a hot knife cutting butter!

The mad owl hiding in the blood sphere didn't even have time to react. He only felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest, as if his entire chest was torn open.

He looked down at his chest. A hideous wound pierced through his chest. The golden sword energy was still raging at the wound, and the surrounding flesh and blood were quickly melting under the erosion of the sword energy.

He couldn't believe his eyes. It was just a sword beam, but after crossing countless galaxies, it not only caught up with him, but also pierced through his body with one sword even though he was defending with all his strength?

The mad owl screamed in pain, his voice so shrill that it echoed in the void.

The golden sword energy remaining in his body became completely violent, like countless small swords, freely shuttling through his meridians and internal organs, constantly reaping his vitality.

His breath weakened rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, Kuang Xiao, the once glorious Chaos Saint Emperor, could no longer hold on. His body fell limply to the ground, the light in his eyes completely extinguished, and he died under Ye Chen's sword.

After dealing with the Mad Owl, Ye Chen’s figure flashed and he returned to the flying boat again.

Thanks to the invisible protective shield he released, the earth-shaking battle just now did not cause any impact on the flying boat, and the boat continued to sail steadily in the universe.

Youruo and Xie Purou had been staying on the boat just now. Through the transparent porthole of the barge, they witnessed the wonderful fight between the three Chaos Saint Emperors!

The destructive power and the extremely fast speed made them stunned and their hearts pounded.

"The Saint Emperor level is truly terrifying. When will we be able to reach this realm?!"

Youruo murmured to herself, with a hint of loss in her tone, as if she was somewhat hit by the impact of this war.

She is a well-deserved genius in the world of cultivation. Her cultivation speed is quite terrifying. She has already become the Hunyuan Divine King at a young age. If she were placed in an ordinary force, she would also be qualified to be a local tyrant.

But in front of the powerful Chaos Saint Emperor, she felt that she was as weak as dust in the air, so small that she was not worth mentioning, and she could not even withstand the aftermath of the opponent's battle.
